Pillow Debut
Veteran Lindy Hop dancer Gaby Cook returns to Jacob’s Pillow this summer with her signature blend of swing music and vernacular jazz to the outdoor stage. A leading force in the global Lindy Hop scene for over 15 years, Cook gave a show-stopping performance as a member of the collective that brought SW!NG OUT to the Ted Shawn Theatre in 2022.
As the artistic director of Wild Rhythm Dance Company (which performed at the Pillow in 2018) and Gatsby Entertainment, Cook has choreographed and performed at Jazz at Lincoln Center, the 92nd Street Y, and Midsummer Night Swing. Known for her dynamic performances and deep knowledge of swing-era dance, she continues to celebrate and evolve the legacy of Lindy Hop for audiences of all kinds.
